HEADLINE
"This music, these people... offer nothing but proof that songs... and sound for that matter... can play us as instruments. (...) I was up in a projection booth at an old theater watching them from hundreds of feet away... breaking my heart, giving me a pony, taking my lunch money, losing my job for me, etc... It is prolific. I'm lucky to see it. Hear it. Not be fired from it. "
- Dave Sitek, recording engineer for Thee Oh Sees and member of TV on the Radio -
Somewhere beyond nostalgia, beyond the garage, somewhere beyond the fireside song and supposed goo-rock, you will find the latest incarnation of Thee Oh Sees, now a quartet composed of John Dwyer (OCS, Coachwhips, Pink & Brown), Brigid Dawson, Petey Dammit!, and Mike Shoun.
The prolific John Dwyer contends again for best album of his career with The Master's Bedroom Is Worth Spending A Night In, out the spring of 2008 on Tomlab/Castle-Face.
Following 2007's Sucks Blood, The Master's Bedroom (Recorded by Chris Woodhouse in Sacramento and Dave Sitek in New York City) weaves Dwyer's signature AM radio howl with the catchiest of driving tunes, Dawson's gorgeous harmonies, heightened fidelity, thick spring-reverbed bombast, mighty drums (at times in pairs), and an undeniable pull. |
